Colum Corless (12 May 1922 – 1 February 2015) was an Irish hurler who played as a right corner-back for the Galway senior team.
[1] Born in Kinvara, County Galway, Corless first played competitive hurling during his schooling at St. Mary's College.
Their proudest moment arrived in late 1951 when they made the epic trip to New York, beat the locals 2-11 over 2-8 and thus captured the 1950/51 National Hurling League title.
In 1977 he won the Westmeath junior hurling championship with Southern Gaels (aged 56): he was an inspirational player and his enthusiasm was infectious.
In 1999 Corless took part in the National Veterans Championship in Tullamore winning Gold in the 100mt, 200mt, and 800mt, with Silver in the Shot Put and Bronze in the 400mt.
